What does the Qur'an say about Mary (Maryam)?

Mary (Maryam) is the only woman named in the Qur'an, and an entire chapter carries her name. The Qur'an says Allah chose her, purified her, and raised her above the women of all the worlds — a model of faith and devotion.

“And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds."”— 3:42 (Saheeh International)
